Nice shot!
Yours was the best photo on BugGuide I could find of the labial suture, the vertical line on the lower part of the face that is unique to Spirobolida. I've featured your photo on the recently updated Spirobolida page!

Thanks for the kind words!
With larger arthropods I always try to get different views so that I might get lucky and include a distinctive structure!
